The Hazard
CLASS 1 WARNING: DROWNING
Blue Wave is recalling above-ground pools that are 48 inches and taller. The pools have a strap that can be used as a foothold. This allows children to climb into the pool, even if the ladder is removed. This creates a serious drowning risk.
No incident count provided.
Why This Happens: Technical Breakdown
The recalled pools have a compression strap around the outside. This strap is meant to help hold the pool together. However, it creates a place for children to put their feet. This makes it easier for them to climb into the pool without a ladder.
Even if you take the ladder away, a child could still use the strap to climb in. This is very dangerous because children can drown quickly and silently. The company is recalling these pools to prevent injuries and deaths.
